The mur­der toll has now risen to 51 with the mur­ders of a Moru­ga woman and a man from To­co.

This morn­ing, at about 2.40 am, Ish­ma Ali, 39, from L'anse Mi­tan Road Moru­ga was sleep­ing in her home when she was awok­en by her dogs' bark­ing.

Ali's hus­band, Lin­coln Sama­roo got up to see what was out­side. He was shot in the left leg. Fear­ing for his life, the man ran in­to bush­es to evade the shoot­ers.

He re­turned to the scene with the po­lice and found Ali's body on the ground. She was shot once in the chest.

There are no mo­tives for this shoot­ing.

In­ves­ti­ga­tions con­tin­ue.

In an un­re­lat­ed killing po­lice say the shoot­ing death of 20-year-old Shaquille Wil­son is linked to his in­volve­ment in the drug trade.

Ac­cord­ing to po­lice, around 10.45 pm last night, Wil­son of Anglais Road, Cumana was at home when his sis­ters heard gun shots. They lat­er found him bleed­ing. The young man was tak­en to the To­co Health Fa­cil­i­ty where was pro­nounced dead.
